Noun
Nouns are a person, place, thing, or idea. They can take on a
myriad of roles in a sentence, from the subject of it all to the
object of an action. They are capitalized when they're the
official name of something or someone, called proper
nouns in these cases. Examples: pirate, Caribbean, ship,
freedom, Captain Jack Sparrow.

Pronoun
Pronouns stand in for nouns in a sentence. They are more
generic versions of nouns that refer only to people.
Examples: I, you, he, she, it, ours, them, who, which,
anybody, ourselves.

Verb
Verbs are action words that tell what happens in a sentence.
They can also show a sentence subject's state of being
(is, was). Verbs change form based on tense (present, past)
and count distinction (singular or plural). Examples: sing,
dance, believes, seemed, finish, eat, drink, be, became.
Adjective
Adjectives describe nouns and pronouns. They specify which
one, how much, what kind, and more. Adjectives allow
readers and listeners to use their senses to imagine
something more clearly. Examples: hot, lazy, funny, unique,
bright, beautiful, poor, smooth.

Adverb
Adverbs describe verbs, adjectives, and even other adverbs.
They specify when, where, how, and why something
happened and to what extent or how often. Examples: softly,
lazily, often, only, hopefully, softly, sometimes.

show place, title, direction in a sentence. Examples: up, over,
against, by, for, into, close to, out of, apart from,at, to.

Conjunction

Examples: and, but, or, so, yet, with.

followed by an exclamation point. Examples: ah, whoops,
ouch, yabba dabba do!
